For Sale: Dewat L1A1

[rob love]

Personally, I have always equated trying to tart up a British/Auz/Ishapore rifle into a Canadian Look-a-like as dressing up your sister and taking her to the prom. She might look good, but you aren't getting anything afterwards.



I ordered my first Cdn C1A1 from collectors source a couple of decades back. I think it was $850. I have watched the price of C1s climb to the point now where they seem to be in the $2500 to $3500 range. My Cdn collection of FNs is as complete as I want to get it, with an EX1, EX2, C1A1, C1A1 (8L series....4th last rifle produced) and a C2A1. All are deactivated, but thems the rules for non-grandfathered owners. I also have a C1A1 that is still live residing with a licensed owner, and have not had the heart to have it deactivated yet.

In my opinion Rob and after years of shooting from the hip and buying everything in sight , i am sticking to Canadian stuff now. We should be prouder of what we have produced in quantity and in quality . Canadian stuff is certainly worth the premium being asked in my mind .

I agree, and think the same logic might apply to our Australian friends.

My wife agrees too, though she suggests even fewer Canadian purchases as well...

I bet poor Mr. Morrison would like all us to just shut up, or at least until he sells that much maligned British FN.
